On the evening of the 27th, at 7:40 pm, a fire broke out again at Mt. Juam, Dalseong-gun, Daegu, which had barely caught the fire after 14 hours, and the forestry authorities began to extinguish the fire.
Earlier, at Mt. Juam, a forest fire started at 9 pm on the 26th, burned 40,000 square meters of forest, and was extinguished around 11 am yesterday.
Forest authorities believe that the embers hidden in the crevices of the rocks on the ridge of the 7th part of the mountain were revived in 3 or 4 places with the wind and spread to the forest fire, and 90 people including forest fire extinguishers and firefighters were urgently dispatched to extinguish the fire.
